Wow! Where has the time gone? So much has changed in the 3 years since I have last posted a blog. As I sit to right this blog, I wondered what happened? Why did I stop blogging? Well, Life Happened, that's what. I've never been really good about being consistent with just one thing. First, Myspace, then Facebook, Blogger, Twitter, Instagram and so on.... I guess the one thing I have kept up with is Facebook. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, the short story catch up since I've been gone - I am still a Single mom of two wonderful Amazing kids! Mr. K is now 7 years old, in 1st Grade and plays Football. He loves Lego, TV and annoying his sister. Ms. B is now 6 years, in 1st Grade and a Cheerleader. She is loud, sassy, loves Stuffed Animals and loves with all her heart. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Me? Well thats a whole different story! Somewhere in the mix I've stopped worrying about me. Guess that's the issue with most Moms. At least the Moms I know. I've been so focused raising my babies, and attempting to give them a wonderful life that I forgot to take care of myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My hope for this blog moving forward is document my new journey with VistaLife and weightloss. I've written out my Day 1 Journal that lays out the harsh truth of what 30 years of not so great decisions will do to your body. I haven't had the heart to publish it just yet. It's very honest, so honest it hurts! It's scares the living out of me! But the truth hurts.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope by blogging my journey, struggles and hopefully successes that I might be able to help at least 1 woman! That's the ultimate goal, help at least 1 woman. My goal is that blogging with help hold myself more accountable for my decisions. So, bare with me. I've never been a writer (math was always my subject). </div>

He changed my life forever, in just a matter of hours. I was 24 years old and newly single. I really had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, I was just having fun. On January 20, 2009 I got a call from a close friend's mother. That call forever changed my world and how I saw things. <br /><br />Kolton's biological "mother" had tested positive for Meth during delivery, as well as Kolton. CPS immediately removed him from her care and he was sent home from the hospital a healthy thriving little boy. His Grandmother was named his primary caregiver for the time being, along with his 3 year old big brother, Cam. His Granny, as we call her, quickly realized she was unable to care for a newborn & a 3 year old. That's where I came in. After a quick phone call Granny was on her way to my house to discuss some things. I had no idea things were about to change forever. <br /><br />After a lot of discussion with Granny, talks with My mom & sisters, and a lot of praying I decided I would become Kolton's primary caregiver. In a matter of minutes, I can became a mother to a 3 week old little boy. In a few short hours and a lot of help from Family & Friends. My little man had a complete nursery and closet full of clothes. <br /><br />I truly believe God Chose Me to be his Mother and I am forever grateful for the confidence he had in me. I am more blessed than I could have ever imagined. <br /><br />To My Amazing, Handsome, Often Stubborn Son, <br />As we get ready to Celebrate your 4th Birthday with Friends and Family on Saturday, I look back on the last 4 years and how you have made my life complete. I amazed Daily as you grow and continue to learn. I love how curious about life you are. I love that you are a Great Big Brother and that you are always Protecting & loving your sister, when you aren't driving her crazy. I love that you remember to say "Please and Thank you" most of the time. I love your imagination and that you love Trucks. You stole my heart from the moment I held you in my arms. I look forward to all the milestones you have ahead of you. I'll always be right there to hold your hand when are scared, kiss your boo-boo's when you get hurt and give you a little shove when you are nervous. Most of all I will love you with everything I have for as long as I live! Happy 4th Birthday Kolton Lane! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN54Uz5suxA4emXMq_9o2vuzgrUSklAu9gIuh2Mq1N3LwOWzpp8pK5fp3J1dtmkLxNAEYUyRHO1as8Dt9ZlS012lIAZOr4nAo783IeXhAg8YlyLTKVRD6IgWTmXhnhwAQWDILwyafH2c93/s1600/395796_691927980644_202303744_33859694_1376820919_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN54Uz5suxA4emXMq_9o2vuzgrUSklAu9gIuh2Mq1N3LwOWzpp8pK5fp3J1dtmkLxNAEYUyRHO1as8Dt9ZlS012lIAZOr4nAo783IeXhAg8YlyLTKVRD6IgWTmXhnhwAQWDILwyafH2c93/s320/395796_691927980644_202303744_33859694_1376820919_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693461942456499298" /></a><br /><br /><p><br /><img style="border:0;" align="center" src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/redneckvallygirl/2222.jpg" /><br /></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18239177893417483467noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858966566269862855.post-51586009908758881262011-12-30T23:21:00.005-06:002011-12-30T23:32:09.229-06:00New Year.

It's safe to say, I've become addicted quickly! HouseParty is a great site that offers Free Parties for you to throw. When you are chosen to host these parties. About a week or 2 before you recieve what they call a Party Pack. This almost always comes with Samples, a gift, Invites and more. <br /><br /> I've applied for probably 4-6 parties since I started. I was chose to host my first party June 26th. I am hosting the Bull's Eye BBQ Party! I'm very excited. I love to grill outside and enjoy having friends over to hang out in the backyard! I'll blog more when I get my party pack. Hopefully post some pictures as well! <br /><br /> I really suggest you go over to HouseParty.com and check it out! Below is my link to my party! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.houseparty.com/party/323247">House Party Party Friends, Fun & BBQ!</a><br /><br /><br /><p><br /><img style="border:0;" align="center" src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/redneckvallygirl/2222.jpg" /><br /></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18239177893417483467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858966566269862855.post-13431500265479250802010-06-04T10:15:00.002-05:002010-06-04T10:20:32.927-05:00Need HelpI need Help...wow, that wasn't that hard! <br /><br /> Asking for help is something I hate to do! I love being independent, creative and a mom who does it all! But, I guess my creativitity has been lacking lately! I've recently started my own business and I'm in the process of finding a store front location. My problem is the name. It's current calling is "Rockin' It Country Designs". This has worked for a while but I just don't think it's Store material. So, that's why I am asking for help. I need a new name for the store. I think the RICD will still be our legal name, I just need a front name. I make Crosses,Cowgirl Chunky Jewerly, Picture Frames, Cowgirl Flip Flops and home decor signs. We are also making furniture and I would like to expand into Cowgirl Clothes. <br /><br />So, to all my blog peeps, any ideas?<br /><p><br /><img style="border:0;" align="center" src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/redneckvallygirl/2222.jpg" /><br /></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18239177893417483467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858966566269862855.post-20981489317141929442010-06-02T09:35:00.000-05:002010-06-02T09:37:01.131-05:00Wordless Wednesday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-cqNmC_b2VjTvpNu6wDBxjN-qjdazGbnktOHUgF7VG3ymXfx5u7zomoUdnZldhln0XJWEv_BZpdfbjH4uBXlTHZNDZ1ide7YHpzJ487l9AVSpF_YintUpMNp9U1-uLgEe5g6t3RQpwILH/s1600/30931_554607936114_202303744_32306402_7412639_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-cqNmC_b2VjTvpNu6wDBxjN-qjdazGbnktOHUgF7VG3ymXfx5u7zomoUdnZldhln0XJWEv_BZpdfbjH4uBXlTHZNDZ1ide7YHpzJ487l9AVSpF_YintUpMNp9U1-uLgEe5g6t3RQpwILH/s320/30931_554607936114_202303744_32306402_7412639_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478185270710438706" /></a><br />Yep!

Crazy how time flies. I really need to get better about blogging but by the time I get home from work, play with the kiddos, dinner, bath & bedtime. I'm exhausted. <br /><br />Well I guess I'll update you on the kiddies first. Mr. K is now 28 months old! Let me tell you, the terrible 2s are here! For the most part Mr. K is a very good natured kid, but stubborn as all get out! When he doesn't want to do something, you will fight tooth & nail to get him to do it. He is becoming very independent. He wants to do most everything himself. I love his independence but then again it just reminds me how much he is growing up! 2 1/2 years and he'll be in school :( I can't even begin to think that far ahead! <br /><br />Miss B. oh where to start with Miss B. She is 13 months old now, hard to believe! She is now walking and soon will be running. She is a little monkey, she will crawl and climb onto anything. Getting her to sit in her high chair thru dinner is a task itself. She is very vocal! Always gabbing, just like a little girl! Her fave things to say are Bye bye and bubba. She can also say Mama, but usually saves that for when she is getting mad. She loves riding in Mr. K's tractor with him. Which Santa brought for him on Christmas. It has a little trailer and she sits in it and they ride all over the place! I love those 2 with every thing I have! <br /><br />Now, to myself. I just turned 27 ::YIKES:: yesterday! I really had a problem with 27 just because its 3 years to 30 and I am no where I thought I would be! But after talking with my sister, who is now back in the states, yay! I've come to realize I may not be where I wanted to be but I am exactly where I'm supposed to be! That's good enough for me! I'm still working in Mansfield for a CPA. I've also started making Jewerly and Crosses. I've even dabbled into some photography. I have another blog set up "Rockin' It Country Designs" I hope to get this updated and share with you some the new stuff I've been working on! <br /><br />Well that's it for now! Hopefully it won't be 5 months before I blog again, oh the joys of Rockin' the Mommy thing Solo!!<br /><br />Peace, love & God Bless, <br /><p><br /><img style="border:0;" align="center" src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/redneckvallygirl/2222.jpg" /><br /></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18239177893417483467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858966566269862855.post-91486401568994548932009-10-08T08:11:00.002-05:002009-10-08T08:25:22.103-05:00Happy Pre-FridaySeems like I only find time to blog on Thursday now! We are in the process of moving again. I know we just moved but this seems the right step for our family right now. The house we had bought has ended needing a lot more work than I can do by myself. My sister has agreed to take the payments over. Her and her roommate will do the work. It's a lot easier for her because she has someone else to help out. I just can't do that right now. So, we are making the move to Italy, Texas but before a stop in Mansfield. We are going to stay at my moms apartment with my aunt. My mom has already made the move to Italy with her boyfriend. But my house will not be ready until December. So we are staying in Mansfield until then. It's really nice being just 5 minutes from. They have a really nice playground here at the apartment for when the weather is nice. So, that's about it on the move. <br /><br />Brynlee is a sitting up, crawling machine! She gets every where and fast! She tries to pull up on things but isn't ready just yet for that. And thats makes this mama Happy. She is just growing up way to fast! I'll probably have a little walker by Christmas! I went Halloween shopping last weekend. It's so hard to find cute costumes and we just dont have the money right now for custom ordered ones. So, I have settled with a Zebra costume for her. I didn't want her to be the typical Sunflower or pumpkin baby. Its a cute, simple costume but she has an awesome over the top Zebra & Hot Pink Bow! So, I can't wait for Halloween :D<br /><br />Kolton is growing up fast too! He is smart and talks a little more each day! His favorite saying right now is "MINE!" and when he says he means it! He is still doing really good with Brynlee but now that she is on the move his is getting a little more possessive with his toys! But he's not being mean about it, so that good. We haven't finished his Halloween costume shopping yet. I can't decide between a Hobo or Race Car driver so we are making a trip to Party City this weekend to try them on! <br /><br />Well, I guess that's about it for us. Happy Pre-Friday!<br /><br /><br /><p><br /><img style="border:0;" align="center" src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/redneckvallygirl/2222.jpg" /><br /></p><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18239177893417483467noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858966566269862855.post-89607369371772609182009-09-24T10:37:00.002-05:002009-09-24T10:46:52.286-05:005 MONTHS and then someWow, it's hard to believe that its already over 5 months since I became a Mommy of 2! I cant believe how fast my little girl is growing. Yesterday she started sitting up all by herself with no help & no hands on the floor! Its so hard to believe, she doesn't even look big enough to sit up. She's such a tiny little thing but lord can she eat! Right now her fave things are Bananas with rice & Butternut squash! <br /><br />Kolton is doing wonderful! He is so smart and points out everything from animal to a plane in the sky! He got a new dog, not by choice!, but he's turning out to be a really good dog for Mr. Kolton. Charlie, our new dog, will play fetch with Kolton and tug a war but will drop the toy the second Kolton gets close to his face then he will wait for Kolton to throw it! It's so cute! <br /><br />Things at work are going really well and I am starting to take over our Corporate & Partnership returns which is great! Now, I'm just hoping for the move to the bigger office :D I've started shopping for the kids Halloween costumes all though I'm at a complete loss for they should be. I am think Ms. Brynlee may be a Ladybug or Zebra but Kolton I have no idea! So, to the Halloween store we go this weekend! <br /><br />Well, it's back to work for me. Just wanted to write a quick update! Have a great Pre-Friday!! <br /><br /><br /><p><br /><img style="border:0;" align="center" src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/redneckvallygirl/2222.jpg" /><br /></p><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18239177893417483467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858966566269862855.post-19062336909606676852009-09-14T21:10:00.002-05:002009-09-14T21:12:50.641-05:00We've lost another...<a href="http://imgsrv.kstt.com/image/kstt/UserFiles/Image/dirtydancing(1).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 460px; height: 304px;" src="http://imgsrv.kstt.com/image/kstt/UserFiles/Image/dirtydancing(1).jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />The world has lost another awesome person!

I had just graduated high school in May of 2001 and still trying to figure out which way life was going to take me. I remember taking my class to the kitchen/dining area for a snack that morning. After getting my kids settled, I went into the kitchen to get their snack. The first plane had just hit the world trade center. We heard it on the radio & immediately turned on the TV (out of view from the kids). We thought it was such a bizarre accident. How tragic & scary. We couldn't figure out why they plane had been flying so low. Then within just a few minutes we watch on LIVE TV as the second plane and nearing the WTC and we knew at the exact second something was going on but we had no clue it was something that was going to change our lives forever!! <br /><br /> We watched as the 2nd plane crashed into the WTC. As another crashes in the Pentagon & as another crashes in a Field. We couldn't take our eyes off the TV. Phones immediately start ringing parents on their way to pick up their children. By noon there was not a single kid left at daycare. We were all free to go home. But none of us wanted to move, we were in so much shock. How could this be happening! This is the United States! These things don't happen here! The values, freedom and security that country was built upon was being shaken! Will this be what makes our great Country fall? <br /><br /> I left work and met up with my mom and we decided we weren't going to fall without a fight! We were going to continue to be proud to be Americans!! We were going to rise thru the Mourning! We were going to show our Pride! It was honestly the first time I felt my community was truly proud to American. We went to 7 stores that day, in search of an American Flag for our cars. To my surprise, everyone was sold out! What a great feeling! We weren't the only ones proud that day, we weren't the only ones who wanted to recognize the ones we had the lost. The innocent that had fallen. The brave men & women who lost their lives trying to save another. <br /><br /> The way I view our country has forever been different since that day. It proved that even during the most diffucult and unbelievable moments we will stand proud. We will not fall without a fight! We continue everyday for Fight for our freedom. The men and women of our Armed Forces fight every second of every day. Wives go with out husbands and children go out without parents. So that we may be free and that we may spend our time with our loved ones. <br /><br /> So, today as we continue to mourn the fallen and we continue to remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Stand PROUD! Be PROUD to be an AMERICAN! Thank our Men and Women of the Armed Forces. Our Policemen, Firemen & Paramedics! Hug the ones you love and forgive the ones who do us wrong! Praise GOD! Let our lives not let us forget, let it not blind us. God BLESS!<br /><br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;"> Ps. in 2006 I signed up for Project 2996! This project was organized so that bloggers could pay tribute to the 2996 people we lost that day. Below is my tribute then. I have signed up again and will be posting my tribute to another fallen American shortly! Please go sign-up http://project2996.wordpress.com/home . Please honor the men & women who lost their lives that day! Read other tributes as well. <span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7202/3743/1600/LEON%20LEBOR.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 110px; height: 142px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7202/3743/1600/LEON%20LEBOR.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />MR. LEON LEBOR<br /><br /><br />Leon Lebor, SEIU Local 32BJ, 51, was a janitor at the World Trade Center. He was deaf, but this didn't stop him from experiencing life fully. A native of London, he traveled the world, moving to Jerusalem and eventually New York. He is remembered best by those who knew him at the Trade Center for his sense of humor. He loved telling jokes and putting on a wide variety of clownish faces.<br /><br /><br />The Jerusalem Post reported on November 6th that Leon Lebor, 51, was buried at Har Hamenuhot Cemetery in Jerusalem. Lebor was born in London, attended the Jewish Deaf School and trained as a furrier before moving to the United States in 1970. His parents immigrated to Israel in 1971. Lebor, who had become a florist, followed them in 1980 and worked as a flower arranger at the King David Hotel but had problems learning the new language. For this reason he decided to return to the U.S. and was working for a maintenance company at the World Trade Center when the planes crashed into it on September 11th. His body is the third to be recovered and brought back to Israel for burial.<br /><br /><br /><p><br /><img style="border:0;" align="center" src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/redneckvallygirl/2222.jpg" /><br /></p><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18239177893417483467noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858966566269862855.post-81557443644687001862009-09-01T08:50:00.008-05:002009-09-01T09:40:08.955-05:003 Days Travel then 46 hours on a BusLet me introduce you to someone.

There is nothing I wouldn't do for these kids. </p><p><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOdj4YGjfQxQy9YhBdvoXIM723RzkOPP9Q4nnxKkz8_vkE1CWfLV1m-pTCWQWurudX_JzBbW__FFk_7QmMtQc37wLtdj1Z3wTDS2wsWP0QkynkkA6UuP_c65ThLV1riIcsDJPYJnuHORgP/s320/chris.jpg" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtCGlq0nvt7UNgEVE49DCPhhru2TMHi4OjcWEiA8GBQjcH-EO-zn3vp0mQgPyTBB9NxwyAIr1m5G_yp7RAa4ZCMaVSS3FnW9CoPcchPpxwvg0YGKnmIXGztwAMWFp_1KkQ5Y4gGxApo_uh/s320/kids.jpg" /></p><p>Chris lives in Texas with his mom, that's why he isn't in the group shot. Well, since March 2006 part of my heart has been living across the ocean in Okinawa, Japan. Well, about a week ago, we got news that Justin's grandfather was terminally ill with Cancer. It's pretty bad right now, we've been praying he would be able to fight this but it looks like it's coming to an end. Justin was able to get leave from the Air Force to come home to visit his grandfather. However, they would not pay to fly the entire family home to Texas. Justin fought to have his entire family come with him. They finally got onto a Miltary Hop Flight, which is free but you have to travel with the Air Force and their many stops. Well after days of travel & bumped flights from Okinawa. The <b><i>ENTIRE</i></b> family left Fairfield, Cali headed to Fort Worth Texas on a bus! After a 46+ hour bus ride they will arrive in Fort Worth, TX <i><b>today </b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">at 11:30am. I'm so excited and hoping to meet them at the bus stop to welcome them home! We are so grateful that they were able to come, even though it's not the greatest reason to come home. But God is Great! He has allowed the entire family to be together before Justin's grandpa passes. God bless him! Please pray that grandpa find comfort during his days and may God watch over him until its time for him to walk with our Father! </span></i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img style="border:0;" align="center" src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/redneckvallygirl/2222.jpg" /><br /></p><p><br /></p><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18239177893417483467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858966566269862855.post-90995154268047975792009-08-19T09:45:00.007-05:002009-09-01T09:40:43.078-05:00HUGE Bei Bambani Gift Basket!!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(60, 40, 18); line-height: 20px; font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"><div style="text-align: center; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Okay, so there are always awesome giveaways on Blogger & Twitter, but I do have to say this giveway from </span></span></b><a href="http://www.shopaholicmommy.com/2009/08/huge-700-bei-bambini-giveaway.html"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Tales From A Shopaholic Mommy</span></span></b></a><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> has me most excited!!

Katie, their oldest, is now a big sister! She is going to be a great big sister. Miss Rylee weighed 7lbs and 3ozs and was 19 1/4in.

I know it was bittersweet for her to come back. She lost her dad at the beginning of June, so thats why she was in VA. They extened their stay so that they could spend time with family. But I am so glad to have her back. She is really great with both of the kids and Mr. K just loves her and her boys to death. Ms. B will soon too! </div><br /><div>But while she was gone both kids got to spend some time with their Aunt Kay & Nanny. I am so thankful to have them in my kids' lives! They are 2 of the sweetest people ever and they love my lil ones! Plus, they care for Kay's nephew Jeriamah, who is only 6 months older than Kolton, so you know they have fun! While the boys are playing Ms. B gets to suck up all the nanny love! </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358358465680669026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG20-YBypdWQKtFhI-xW9wMDGTbuuXFQz5kAL5CxC_yDUqSas7bMn39mRQ0UL9TsmVsq-iGR7D5wLpPsz-qj2Rdnj_D-YhNgFo2sOOeMQyd5Bv0HdeC6qf_Z_KswLwJbq1PE5mwNf2ew1n/s320/l_feae9c54a9804d71bc45e6df10a3f549.jpg" border="0" />Little Mr. K is growing up so much and so smart. He amazes me everyday! He is not talking to much but boy does he love to learn! He is so observant and loves to mimic you! He tries to unlock the doors with his keys and becoming such a great help. He will bring you a pull-up and throw away things around the house! He has picked up a little habit that I have no idea where he gets it from. But if you say something to him and he's not in the mood to talk to you or doesn't like what you say he will roll his eyes at you! It's so funny now but in a couple of years, it won't be so funny!<br /><br /><div></div><div>Ms. B is growing and thriving as well! She is now rolling over both ways and laughing. She loves to watch Mickey Mouse & Dora. She will just laugh & talk to the tv its so cute! She is also starting to recongize more faces than just mine & is always chatting when Mr. K is near her. He loves to give her kisses and try to see in her chair with her! She goes next month for her 4 month check up and hopefully we will start some baby food. Maybe she will eat it, Mr. K probably had 10 jars and thats it. You couldn't get him to eat the stuff! But who could blame him? </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358358462714223906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAb872vyF8wpACWdT8NjhBN91WBkqtaAxIBUPaSQWuM2VwfXzl_pw3GKKaqhrO1lMToIvzKXCBzjKE9SXeODR-5IcXuHHQX2RtB88xTZ6-Yp9LlNvmMWZBrAuWbb5O8GKY97D-i2k1mXDy/s320/l_e065b1866ded480e9a500f7081ddb9f8.jpg" border="0" />As far as me, I am doing well. Adjusting to living in my own house and all the that comes with it! I still love my job, although it can get totally stressful some days for the most part it's good! I got a raise last month right after I got my house so that's been a huge help! I am also going back to school in August. My boss is going to keep paying me for 40 hours but I will go to school MW at 345. So that part is awesome! I am an accounting major. My boss said my earning income potential is great if I get my bachelors so thats what I am going to do. Plus he said he pay me well after school so no one steals me! LOL! Well that's about it for now! Guess I better get back to earning my moneyy!!<br /><br /><div>Till Next time, </div><br /><br /><div>Peace, Love & Chicken Grease!</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><p><br /><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/redneckvallygirl/2222.jpg" align="center" /><br /></p></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18239177893417483467noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858966566269862855.post-31886064814580957832009-07-12T07:49:00.004-05:002009-09-01T09:42:29.758-05:00Summer Soiree Finale!!!<div align="center">Summer Soiree Finale </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.everydaybabysteps.onsugar.com"> Everyday Baby Steps </a><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.moodymamasays.com"> Moody Mama Says </a> <br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.angiemarion.blogspot.com"> A Simple Kinda Life </a> <br /><br /></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Its the final day of the Summer Soiree brought to you by some awesome bloggers, which you can find at the above sites!

Hectic. Beautiful Life<p>I thought I would take a quick minute to update everyone on how things are going in our lives these days. There have been a lot of changes but for the most part all good!! </p><br /><p>I finally moved into my first house!!! Well, first house I am buying that is. Which is really exciting and totally stressful at the same time. I never realized how much stuff that myself & the 2 little ones have until I started packing! I haven't finished unpacking everything because Friday (7/3) my <s>older than dirt rusted out</s> lovely water heater busted! Leaving 3 inches of water in my utility room & kitchen! Thank GOD that my cousin was watching my kids at the house & was able to contain the water so it didn't get past the kitchen! So, we call the insurance company. But guess who you can't get out to your house on the friday before a holiday weekend! Yep, you guessed the insurance company! So, we have been stuff at my moms apartment! Yes, apartment! A 3 month old (todayy!!), 3 adults and a very hyper, curious can't stand to be inside 18 month old in a 2 bedroom 2nd floor apartment! Thank God for the POOL! </p><p>Other our major house issue we've been pretty good! Brynlee is getting big, but still looks so tiny cause she's almost 24 inches long!! She's cooing and smiling so much. She rolling over from her stomach to her back & starting to reach for toys on her floor gym! Kolton is doing well! He loves the swimming pool and is no longer scared of it, which makes for one nerveous wreck mommy! But I am glad he is enjoying it and can't wait to get ours for the house! </p><p>Well that's it for this time! I hope to have internet when we get back to the house, I have lots of cute pictures to show you! </p><p>Lots of love till then,<br /><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/redneckvallygirl/2222.jpg" align="center" /><br /></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18239177893417483467noreply@blogger.com0
